Welcome to the Mission Support System software for planning atmospheric research flights. This document is intended to point you into the right direction in order to get the software working on your computer.
We distinguish between Developer and User installations.
Please read our contributing pages. and development guidelines
Get pixi from https://pixi.sh/latest/ for your operation system.
You can now decide if you want to install mss as global or a project.
You can install mss global without defining a project first. This method is practical when you are interested in starting the client and don't need server configurations.
pixi global install mss
msui
mswms -h
mscolab -h
mssautoplot -h
pixi global update mss
Initialize a new project and navigate to the project directory.
pixi init MSS
cd MSS
Use the shell command to activate the environment and start a new shell in there.
pixi shell
Add the mss dependencies from conda-forge.
(MSS) pixi add mss
Always when you want to start mss programs you have after its installation to activate the environment by pixi shell in the project dir. On the very first start of msui it takes a bit longer because it setups fonts.
cd MSS
pixi shell
(MSS) msui
(MSS) mswms -h
(MSS) mscolab -h
(MSS) mssautoplot -h
cd MSS
pixi shell
(MSS) pixi update mss
